A member asked:
Is azithromycin safe in infants less than 6 months?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There are several reasons that Azithromycin (as well as erythromycin) is not recommended for use in children under 6 months of age when another antibiotic is available. Development of jaundice is one of the major risk factors.
